Trauma Stabilization and Psycho-Education
► Grounding—directing attention to the “here-andnow”
and away from sensory recall of the past,
negative experiences, and emotional states.
► Self-soothing—preparing a menu of comforting
and calming procedures in advance of a response
that they can use when emotions become
dysregulated and arousal is high.
► Self-care—learning to self-monitor emotional
states, evaluate choices and actions, and actively
pursues emotional, mental, and physical healing.
